Most of my life, I sat on my hands, I don't make a sound

Getting it right, I made all my plans, lost, never found

You're right, your smile can light up the night, night

Embers and neon signs paint up our sky, sky.

Airplanes cut through the clouds

Like angels can fly, we'll never die

Sirens cut through the night

Like screams set on fire, rising up higher

Like I've something to prove, nothing to lose

In this city, in this city woah...

All of this time, I questioned myself, I never could wait

Looking for signs, not asking for help, I know it's too late

Love lost and buried here, it comes to life, life

Make believe worlds make us all feel alive, live.

Airplanes cut through the clouds

Like angels can fly, we'll never die

Sirens cut through the night

Like screams set on fire, rising up higher

Like I've something to prove, nothing to lose

In this city, in this city oh...

I don't ever wanna wait for this, I believe that I was made for this

I won't fade into dark

I'm not gonna say that I'm sorry, gonna see the end of this story

I won't fade into darkness.

Airplanes cut through the clouds

Like angels can fly, we'll never die

Sirens cut through the night

Like screams set on fire, rising up higher

Like I've something to prove, nothing to lose

In this city, in this city oh...
